World demand to rise nearly 9% annually through 2017

Worldwide demand for geosynthetics is expected to rise nearly nine percent per
year to 5.3 billion square meters in 2017. Advances will benefit from improved
spending on the construction of structures and roads. Additional growth will
be driven by increased market penetration, stimulated by growing concerns
regarding environmental protection and greater awareness of the performance
advantages of these products in a variety of applications. Concerns about the
leaching of hazardous material into soil and groundwater at landfill, mining,
and oil and gas sites, as well as interest in limiting erosion and reducing
roadway maintenance, will also promote geosynthetics use throughout the world.

Construction to be fastest growing market

The construction market accounted for approximately one-third of workdwide
geosynthetics sales in 2012. In addition to being the largest, this market is
projected to register the fastest gains through 2017. Growth was aided by
continued expansion in building construction activity worldwide and improved
spending in developed areas as the global recession of 2009 and subsequent
slow recovery limited the market in the 2007-2012 period. Use of geosynthetics
will rise as a means of preventing sedimentary runoff from construction sites,
as well as reducing the need for other erosion controls in a growing list of
countries.

The transportation infrastructure market will provide opportunities for a
number of geosynthetics, benefiting from the maintenance of the existing
extensive roadway networks in developed countries. Rising market penetration
and the ongoing extension of paved roads and railways will boost sales in
developing countries. Gains in the landfill market will benefit from a growing
number of countries adopting modern landfill design and operations that
typically incorporate geosynthetic liners and caps.

China to claim about half of all new global demand

Market advances in the large Asia/Pacific region will be propelled by the
rapidly developing Chinese market, which will account for roughly
three-fourths of the regional sales in 2017 and about half of additional
global volume demand through 2017. China's vast stretches of available land,
its ongoing development of largescale infrastructure projects, and its need
for erosion control will provide opportunities for geosynthetics going
forward. Similar to China, India is also expected to post double-digit growth
through 2017, although from a much smaller base. However, in many of the least
developed countries, growth for geosynthetics will be more limited due to
inadequate funding, a lack of regulations that require their use, and the
presence of lower-cost alternatives such as natural fiber geotextiles and rock.

Key US market to provide significant opportunities

The US is the world's largest national geosynthetics market, accounting for
over a fifth of worldwide demand in 2012. The enormity of the US market
reflects the immense size and advanced nature of the country's economy. In
addition to having a huge construction sector and an extensive transportation
infrastructure, the US has relatively strict environmental control regulations
regarding containment issues, all of which will continue to provide
significant opportunities for geosynthetics through 2017.

Study coverage

Details on these and other findings are available in this Freedonia industry
study, World Geosynthetics. This report presents historical demand
data (2002, 2007, 2012) plus forecasts for 2017 and 2022 by type, market,
world region, and for 19 countries. The study also considers market
environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles global
players.
